The Kimbilio Christmas Party ended rather suddenly about 18.45 as everyones thoughts turned towards the big match of the year, Mazembe against Inter Milan in the Club World Cup Final. There had been power cuts in various parts of the city during the afternoon so to find space in front of a functioning television was going to be a challenge! On of the prime viewing places is the giant outside screen in the Post Office square in the city centre, it was clear most people had opted for that, as we drove home the square was overflowing with fans. Sadly Mazembe lost 3-0. The BBC reported unrest in Lubumbashi after the final whistle, however all was calm when I drove a friend home, who had been watching the match at my place, an hour later. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-12030051
The Kimbilio Christmas BBQ party was great fun with a play by the children, games, pressies and lots to eat! Thanks to everyone who worked so hard to make it fun for us all and especially the kids!
